7000 Miles

My daughter worked on this film and our family played a small part in the behind the scenes so when we were invited to a special showing here in Hawaii I was more than excited to see it. The film was wonderful from the acting to the depiction of the islands and it's people. The storyline was quite intriguing and played out to my liking. I think this movie deserves a wider release and should definitely be shown to the Hawaii audience. It has a little something for everyone for sure. Casting was right on too. I loved the little boy who played Bacon and the local people were very believable. I also liked the '70s vibe.

Great film. Passionately played by the entire crew. Keeps you in full anticipation of the outcomes... The storyline of alternative possibilities of Amelia Earhardt is truly engaging at a level few films meet. Meeting the filmmaker and principal actors was truly inspiring at the Sedona Internationsl Film Festival. To hear that the entire film was completed in 18 days and many of the actors were from the islands was a tribute to the beautiful Hawaiian island of Molokai that I hope to visit one day. Beautiful cinematography. Inspiring and believable storyline. Recommended for all women aspiring to fulfill a dream.

A wonderful movie. It is refreshing to watch a movie that relies on a great storyline with multiple plot twist. The actors carry this engaging storyline by keeping the audience engaged and wondering how the movie will finally end. Set in both California and Hawaii, this movie's scenery has captivating aerial views of both the islands of Oahu and Molokai that are spell bounding. After watching this movie, you will want to go to Hawaii and buy a ticket on an air tour to see the scenery for yourself. Themes of Hawaii with local lifestyles and personal interactions enriches this film by accentuating great family value.

From the opening credits the music and cinematography has your attention. The characters were real identifiable people engaged in life as it is. The backdrop of the Molokai and authentic native peoples and ceremonies honor this paradise and remind us of perhaps our own failure to live life fully and authentically. The characters and the plot are well crafted and well executed by this ensemble of talent...in front of and behind the camera.

Having been in the final festival audience showing of this film I feel fortunate to have seen this film and get to hear the behind the scenes stories you can only get from a festival Q&A with the cast and director.

See if you can!
